Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.85-9
Severity: normal
This is a headless sparc64 system.
After init is executed,
there is nothing in the console; the last message is
about mounting the root filesystem readonly.
It seems that the system completely hangs.
Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda1 ro -p console=ttyS0
It may be relevant that I see every kernel message twice
on the console (but once in dmesg)
after and including the following message:
Console: ttyS0 (SU)
The workaround is to set
#define INITDEBUG 1
in init.h , and recompile.
I do not claim that I understand why this solution works,
but it does.
I am interested in figuring out what the actual problem is,
and find a solution to it. I need hypotheses to test and
questions asked well (or the answer, if you have it:).
